FAQ
In a civil action, a request for admission is a discovery device that allows one party to request that another party admit or deny the truth of a statement under oath. If admitted, the statement is considered to be true for all purposes of the current trial.
When responding to Requests for Admissions, remember to answer as follows: Admit: If any portion of the Request for Admission is true then you must admit to that portion of the request. You are also allowed to have a hybrid response admit the part of the request that is true while denying another part. See C.C.P.
Proper Objections A responding party has four options: (1) admit; (2) deny; (3) admit in part and deny in part; or (4) explain why the party is unable to answer. It is possible to object to all or part of a request as well, but courts do not like parties who play word games to avoid responding.
Remain at the Scene of the Accident. Gather Information at the Scene. Obtain Witness Information. Seek Medical Treatment. Report the Accident to Your Insurance Carrier. Keep All of Your Bills. Keep a Record of Your Injuries and Recovery. Keep Going to Your Doctor.
Seek medical treatment immediately. Have a medical examination immediately following any collision, even if you think you were not injured. Document the collision. Follow through. Do not communicate with anyone. Negotiate with your head, not your heart.
Each request must be numbered consecutively. The first paragraph immediately shall state he identity of the party requesting the admissions, the set number, and the identity of the responding party. Each request shall be separately set forth and identified by letter or number. C.C.P.
The provisions of Rule 36 make it clear that admissions function very much as pleadings do. Thus, when a party admits in part and denies in part, his admission is for purposes of the pending action only and may not be used against him in any other proceeding.
When responding to Requests for Admissions, remember to answer as follows: Admit: If any portion of the Request for Admission is true then you must admit to that portion of the request. You are also allowed to have a hybrid response admit the part of the request that is true while denying another part.
A party who considers that a matter of which an admission has been requested presents a genuine issue for trial may not object to the request on that ground alone; the party may deny the matter or set forth reasons why the party cannot admit or deny it, subject to rule 1.380(c).
